I have a VGA card and a color screen. Nevertheless when I invoke setcolor I get this screen: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [stuff deleted] The following are the available colors for [color] options: [=1F[=0G[m[[[[[[ blue [=5F[=0G[m[[[[[[ magenta [=6F[=0G[m[[[[[[ brown [=7F[=0G[m[ ] black [stuff deleted] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of the ESC-Codes I get a white bar. But preceeding the white bar I get the codes 1F0G for blue or 5F0G for magenta in clear text. Is there a trick to get color ? Please reply via mail. -Axel -- fischer@utower.gopas.sub.org / fischer@db0tui6.BITNET / fischer@tmpmbx.UUCP Class of '93 That is not dead, which can eternal lie Yet with strange aeons, even death may die.
